We have been overwhelmed with the response to our latest production ticket sales with Friday night selling out the weekend before and over 60 tickets sold for all of the other shows. For our second production at this new venue to us it’s completely unexpected. We’d like to thank all of our new audience and those that have followed us in our previous guise as Churchdown Players.
Opening night was a great success and lovely to see such a full and responsive audience on the first performance. It made it a lot of fun for us as well. Congratulations to the 9 who guessed the murderer correctly and to the 1 of those who was the lucky winner of the champagne. 🥂🍾
Well done Malcolm and the rest of the cast in such a detailed set. We had a fun photo shoot during dress rehearsals to make the most of set and costumes and will have some good memories to take away. These are some of the photos for your enjoyment.
A very long Saturday for us with a record 12 hour set build!
Lots of fun and lots of hard work. A rest today until this evening that is when we have a full technical rehearsal. Very exciting.
We still have a good availability of tickets for Wednesday and Thursday night and a few left for Saturday

If you are avid followers you will recognise the majority of this cast from our first production at Witcombe of ‘Out of Focus’ by Peter Gordon or from other shows under our previous guise of Churchdown Players, including ‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’ and the variety show ‘Happy Days are Here Again’. We also welcome newcomer to our group Tim Bray. We hope you enjoy our production.
Following the huge success of ‘Out of Focus’, we are following up with an even funnier play by the same writer, Peter Gordon. The cast for our next production ‘Murdered to Death’ has been selected by Director, Janet Clark and rehearsals are underway.
We are also excited to announce the addition of a Saturday matinee show for those who prefer not to go out at night. Make a note in your calendar. We will add further updates to let you know when booking is open.
This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the 1930s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight - Bunting the Butler; an English colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling police inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes – they're all here, and all caught up in the sidesplitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house's owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn't finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will audiences die laughing first?
